I am due with my second pregnancy on the 19th. Have twin boys aged 6 and am expecting nother boy. How ru all feeling. I have the vivid dreams and have to get out of bed to turn over. I get up 3/4 times in the night and am having a lot of ibs probs which is making me feel sick. Apart from that am ok. I bought a gym ball, it's cool and the kids love it. Don't know if it wil help in labour though. Goin to hire a tens machine soon.

hiya dawn

i'm due on the 19th too!, missy will be my first, can't wait to meet her, am getting a bit impatient now , bet you are too, i suppose the excitment doesn't change if its your first or fifth eh?.
I have to say, i'm having a great pregnancy, can't believe how lucky i am, i've put on alot of weight, according to my scales i've put on about 10 kgs!!!!, but u wouldn't know it, its all bump!!, i can still fit into my old trousers, just can't button them up and thats only if they don't have a really low waist. It must all be missy, water and placenta etc.
Just over the last week hubby and i have noticed that i'm starting to fill out a bit, i think its due to water retention, but i expected it really.
I find it a tradegy to turn over in bed too!!, it takes me ages, a little less if hubby is still awake and can give me a little push (but thats rare!).
So far though the most uncomfortable thing is braxton hicks (at least thats what i think they are), my bump becomes a lead weight and i get horrible lower back pain, its so annoying especially if it happens when we're out etc or at the table!,

I have put on about 1 stone and 2 pounds. I don't get back pain and baby moves arond a lot. Just been out today and got mum to buy a snowsuit suitable for spring and a 0-3 months outfit. Frightened of buying too much as have stuff from my boys. Not sorted out bags for hospital yet, got some bits to get yet. Had a nosey in some designer shop, wow are they expensive, £30 for a pair of jeans for baby. Tempted to buy for my boys in Mothercare aswell. Hard to resist the temptation.

I'm due on the 18th officially. My Bean (gender unknown) is already engaged, even though not supposed to arrive for 4 + weeks! Like you guys, I have a hard time turning over at night and wake up lots--in fact, I barely sleep at night but make up for it during the day.

Where are you all delivering?

I am going to Wigan Hospital.

My midwife said this week that the baby is set in. Don't know if this means engaged or in pelvis all the same to me. She said baby could go early then again may not.

due march 20th

Hi, am due march 20th, second baby.
Don't know sex, and don't mind either way, have a girl, 3 1/2.
Had a C-section last time but things are looking hopeful for a vaginal birth this time, i'll be doing all i can shortly to get things started because I'm fed up, uncomfortable and impatient! Many sympsthies with the turning over in bed thing, also the braxton hicks thing, don't remember them being as uncomfortable last time. Also this baby moves a lot more than last, can be almost painful sometimes, reassuring tho!

hi, new to emmas diary, i am due on 20th march but having an elective c/s fro breech on 16th march. have 2 other children boys, age 8 and 4 and according to scan this one is a girl, but i am trying no to get my hopes up and keep an open mind. i truly don't mind, but have to say if i could choose i would have liked a girl as this will be our last.

my previous 2 were big babies both over 10lb, so expect this one to be the same, this pregnancy has been the hardest, nothing but minor probs all the way, itching, pelvic pain, insomnia, heartburn and now have problems with my blood sugar, not gestational diabetes, but have to monitor 4 times a day to see what is going on and then be monitored after the birth to find out plan of action or if it will just go away! :roll:
